Hi Robert, I think the easiest way to test it on your local system is to "modify it by hand" by getting my version from github and placing it into the Formula/ directory of your homebrew installation: % curl -L \ 'https://raw.github.com/afh/homebrew/27a177db7b8d9c35b9a531dffe7461febb5dd7b9/Library/Formula/ledger.rb' \ > `brew --prefix`/Library/Formula/ledger.rb
Depending on how comfortable you are with git, you can also add my github repository as another remote and cherry-pick from there... % git remote add afh https://github.com/afh/homebrew.git % git remote update % git cherry-pick 27a177db7b8d9c35b9a531dffe7461febb5dd7b9 I am not aware of an homebrew command that autmagically fetches and includes an outstanding pull-request to apply it locally for testing purposes. Let me know how that and the formula changes work for you, Alexis
